December Magical Moment #4 Christmas Journaling
I'm off on a new adventure this year. Creating a daily Christmas journal. I got the idea over at musemecca.com to sign up for a class with shimme laine. There is a small cost to the class so I am counting it as my gift to myself. It is helping me maintain my focus on relationships with family and friends, as well as, spiritual and personal growth. We did some pre-prep to our journals in November and now in December we get a daily prompt and ideas for an entry. The journal can be as simple or as complex as you wish. Some people do not get through every day. That's okay because even after the class the info is available. And once you sign up for the class, you can take it every year without an additional charge. I'll be sharing some of my pages with you over at Magical Creative Spirit, so you will get a better idea of what I'm talking about.
What better way to chronicle the best time of the year than with a Christmas Journal. Another thing I do is keep a special Christmas Jounral out for family and friends to write in when they come to our parties during the holiday season. Some have to be prodded a bit but I usually get a few good entires. I love looking back at each years entries and they are great conversation starters at our dinner parties and other holiday gatherings. If you are not a "big" writer, consider getting a premade journal with starter questions and spots to record basic information. Gooseberry Patch and Susan Branch both have some cute ones. The Susan Branch one I have has spots for five years!
Do you keep a Christmas Journal? Any ideas, thoughts, or suggestions?
